Failure investigation of gfrp water storage tank: a case study at IKBN Jitra, Kedah / Mohd Ruzaimi Mat Rejab, Shukur Abu Hasan and Hasnulfikri Mahbot

This paper described a failure investigation of 13,200 gallons GFRP water storage tank that had happened at Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara (IKBN) Jitra, Kedah. Based on the preliminary observation, the failure started at the outlet flange hole where the water propagated inside the tank's wall...
